Hello!

This week, I’ m going to give you the recipe of an easel card like mine. Mine is done for a birthday, but any Tingtura stamp will suit your card, and thinking about halloween and Christmas not so far… that makes a lots of cards to do for family and friends!

Here  is my card closed…

And opened…

The stamp…

1) Cut a piece of craft cardstock to 15X15. Score and fold at 15 cm and 20 cm.

2) Cut a square of 15 cm and attach to the fold of the card to create the easel shape.

3) Glue a 14,5 cm square of red carstock to the front of the card.

4) Matt a 14 cm sqare of patterned paper onto the red cardstock.

5) Cut a 12 cm squareof red cardstock and a 11,5 cm of patterned paper and fix it at an angle in the front of the card.

6) Attach a scalloped strip to the card.

7) Stamp the GIRL WITH GIFT stamp with memento ink and colour it ( I’ve used Promarkers). Matt the image onto red cardstock and attach to the front of the card.

8)  Punch 3 different sizes of circles, attach them at the centre with a brad, and scrunch them up. Make a second flower.

9) Place the first flower in the left-hand corner of the card.

10) Cover the easel card base with red cardstock and a smaller piece of patterned paper. Add a sentiment onto white paper ( I’ve printed it) and place the second flower to decorate the front of the card.

 And that’s it!

You can ink all the papers like me ( with black distress), or draw small black faux-stitched.

Hope you like it, and don’t forget to send a link to your blog and card, I’d be very happy to see your cards!

Hugs,

Emma.
